On an open Nevada highway, how far ahead of a turn must you begin signaling?
-
A.
200 feet
-
B.
500 feet
-
C.
300 feet Correct
-
D.
100 feet
The answer is "300 feet"
The two-value signal rule pairs 100 feet on city streets with 300 feet on open highways. This question tests the highway value. The wrong answers correspond to the city value, an in-between figure the manual does not use, and an overstated distance that catches learners who half-remember the rule.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. 200 feet
Falls between the two signal-distance rules; the manual does not set 200 feet as a signaling threshold. Guessing the midpoint between the two half-remembered numbers feels like a safer bet than committing to either extreme.
B. 500 feet
Overstates the open-highway signal distance; the manual sets it at 300 feet, not 500. The 500-foot figure is the manual's low-beam switch distance for oncoming vehicles at night, and learners cross-wire it into the signaling rule.
D. 100 feet
Confuses the 100-foot city-street signal distance with the longer 300-foot open-highway rule. City-street signaling is the version most learners practice daily, so the 100-foot figure gets applied to every road by default.
